Ok here's summary of my case:
Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering with over 11 years of professional experience (6 years previous employers + 5 years with my current employer)-
I-140 approved EB-3 category priority date 10/7/08
My current company’s lawyer initially told that I will be eligible to apply for EB-2 but he filed an EB-3. He didn’t provide sound reasons but explained that he leant towards EB-3 for higher chances of success (?).
Filing for green card is current for EB-2 category under my citizenship quota. One of my colleagues advised me to file another I-140 EB2 category and take the chances. If it gets approved then I can file I-485 current for my quota category, and if it gets denied then it won’t harm my original I-140 approval or PD.
Am I getting good advice? Is there any risks?
